FB,

Will the renovations on the field be completed when Springfield plays there August 17?

I have only seen the box torn down since it began early July. Doubt it will be fully finished by the 17th ,the field will be fine. Nothing but a little sun, fertilizer, patience, and water needed to make the Bermuda grow. The playing surface will be the best it has been in over a decade.

See where you are getting a new press box that will probably cost in the neighborhood of $60,000.  That amount of money will buy a ton of Rain Bird sprinkler heads.  Thought someone got a stipend for mowing and field maintenance at all CMCSS high schools.  How much do you need to get the field in good condition?

 

I saw that press box project started, yet to see progress on its completion beyond digging for piers.

 

The stipend was part of the funds I stated have been fully exhausted in the renovation. A little patience, water, and sunlight and the surface will be fine. Again though, if you are willing to donate towards field maintenance feel free to break out the checkbook or go down to the CO-OP and load up some fertilizer. The field was neglected for years and based off the BYU field wear index value charting system our field requires the most need. Starting in August and ending in May, the field rarely sees a day where feet aren’t trampling the lush root systems of the Bermuda. Over five sports/organizations use it on a daily basis. 

This year alone the field has received roughly $8,000-$10,000 worth of seed, fertilizer, sand, pre-emergent, post emergents, and mowing done to it.

The field has been going down hill the last 4 years.  Ask anyone at the school.  Other schools in the county have the same situations as CHS but their fields look 1000 times better than CHS's field. No one is on the field during the summer from May through July are they?  Had plenty of sunshine then.  People in charge need to take responsibility. Was the pressbox that bad that it needed to be done right before football season or could it have been done after football and soccer season was over?

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
